Do you have an Instagram account?

Yes

No

If someone's shared something on Instagram that you feel may violate your privacy, we encourage you to first reach out to the person who posted the photo or video and ask them to remove it. You can do this by commenting on a post they shared or by mentioning them on one of your own posts. To mention someone, type "@" followed by their username.

Have you already asked the person who shared this photo to remove it?

Yes, but they haven't responded or won't remove it

No, I haven't reached out to them

Note: The fastest way to try and resolve your issue may be reaching out to the person who posted the photo or video. Often people don't realize that a post they've shared may violate another's privacy.
